c.1 Snowboard Binding Concept
This concept is based on the traditional “Strap-In” binding, but with a strong focus on three dimensions:
Production
The binding is modular, which reduces the number of parts required to produce a complete binding set. It also reduces the production cost, as the store or end user assembles the binding. This will give a lower transportation cost, since the binding will be shipped in flat packages. The modularity gives the producer the ability to make several different bindings (size, style, price, performance) based on the same main parts. And if the binding is broken, it is only necessary to change the affected part. All of this is differentiates from existing bindings, which are normally molded in one part.
All materials used are recyclable.
Driving performance
The binding is developed to give increased stability while driving, and a more even distributed force between the binding and the boot.
Personal adjustment
The binding modularity gives the opportunity to adjust the binding to fit both boot and driving style. It is also quicker to adjust while driving, both torsion/angle of the back and toe support angle.
